2.According to the petitioner, there is a civil dispute pending between the petitioner and the sixth respondent. Now, pending litigation, the sixth respondent sold the property in favour of the 7th respondent and the seventh respondent is taking steps to change the patta in his name. In the above circumstances, the petitioner filed an application before the third respondent/Tahsildar , Madurai North Taluk, raising his objection on the same. The above application is pending. Hence, he has filed the present writ petition.

3.The learned Government Advocate, appearing for the respondents, on instructions, would submit that as on date, there is no application filed by the seventh respondent seeking transfer of patta in his name and it is only the apprehension of the petitioner that there is a likelihood of the 7th respondent to file an application for transfer of patta.
